For discussion of all the other girl+mecha lines that have cropped up since Shinki began: Frame Arms: Girls, Megami Device, Armor Girls Project, Desktop Army, etc. This includes kinda-sortas like Daibadi's Polynian and things like Strike Witches and Fumikane's original Mecha Musume.

Me too, her facial experssions are so much better the SOL HORNET cutesy pouty moe schtick. I like her hairstyle, colors and ovarlook more then SOL HORNET, however I am less fond of her accessories/weapons:/ (which also seems to be less) . I think I am going to get her, she will be my first model kit and she would be released in summer which means I will have time to build her^^.

Here are new images of future Megami Device releases (and current pre-ordrs ones, cause why not?) from Wonderfest, I didn't like anything in particular, but maybe others will:)

I like the idea of Japanese folklore/Samurai/ninja influenced mecha musume(like Busou Shinki did near the end of the toyline ), however their outfits are too skimpy and I don't see option for full suit like previous kits.

There also going to be mahou shoujo influenced mecha musume which I like more despite being more simple, hopfully it will also be reflected in the price.
